Remember, Leonardo Da Vince conceptualized the helicopter long before
the modern helicopter was invented, but you could hardly call him the
inventor of the helicopter. Had he been able to follow through, perhaps
we would have had helicopters before the mass produced car. Imagine
that? Our world would probably look very different. Sir Tim followed
through and we have what we have, warts and all.
